If it were a higher resolution display (more so a computer monitor) it would probably be worth it. However, at 500 dollars you really wont get much of an amazing tv outside of possibly a 32" one especially since that price point is pretty much the entry point for decently sized HDTV's. So you would still likely get less area per person. Although it still is likely better to go for a regular tv given this is a first generation product. How it matures will be interesting. And of course it really depends if you play multiplayer locally. If you don't then unless you simply need 3d, it isn't that ideal.

What I would like to see is this technology incorporated into their Bravia line since they are releasing this, or industry-wide. I don't care much for 3d, and I don't really want to use glasses, but the implementation of this seems pretty good.

You make a decent point but you're forgetting that this one comes with Resistence 3, HDMI cable and 3D glasses as well. I know many TVs don't even come with the HDMI cable so it's really not as bad as you make it sound. I'll admit though I would also get a bigger non-3D HDTV instead.

edit: @ snoop, I think your point about whether you play local multiplayer is a good one since there really haven't been many games this gen that have any sort of split screen play which makes getting this TV less of a good idea. Then again I think that with this TV being released Sony will be producing more games that have local multiplayer now which should make the TV a bit more appealing.

All I know is that I might get one to play Uncharted 3 since there's a lot of buzz saying how good that game is going to be in 3D..plus it comes with Resistance 3, a game that I'm also planning to get so it's a win win situation :)

Thanks. I'll have to wait to see the pricing of other tvs. But at this point it's either this or a larger regular HDTV.

Actually it's exactly what this TV is doing....
